Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, today announced financial results for its second quarter of 2023.

Second Quarter End Results

Second quarter net sales for 2023 were $32.6 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 6.8%, as compared to $35.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Our net sales decreased 4.0% on a constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below) as foreign exchange decreased GAAP net sales by $1.0 million, mostly due to the decline of the Korean Won and Japanese Yen.

Second quarter operating loss for 2023 was $1.0 million as compared to operating income of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2022.

Net loss was $1.1 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023, as compared to net income of $0.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, overall selling and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million to $7.2 million, as compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in selling and administrative expenses consisted of a $0.1 million increase in payroll costs (as $0.5 million severance was partially offset by other lower payroll costs), a $0.1 million increase in marketing costs and a $0.1 million increase in warehouse costs.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, other operating costs increased by $0.6 million to $5.4 million, as compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in consulting fees, a $0.4 million increase in travel and entertainment, which was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in office expenses. Consulting fees include $0.4 million in consulting relating to Trulu, a new venture to serve as our innovation hub.

The approximate number of new and continuing independent associate and preferred customer positions held by individuals in Mannatech’s network and associated with purchases of products as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately 142,000 and 152,000, respectively. Recruitment of new independent associates and preferred customers decreased by 2.59% to 19,309 in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 19,823 in the second quarter of 2022.

Year-to-date Second Quarter Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net sales were $66.7 million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 1.0%, as compared to $67.4 million for the same period in 2022. Our net sales increased 2.8% on a constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below) as foreign exchange decreased GAAP net sales by $2.6 million mostly due to the decline of the Korean Won and Japanese Yen.

Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.2 million as compared to operating income of $0.9 million for the same period in 2022.

Net loss was $0.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the same period in 2022.

We will not pay a quarterly dividend this quarter, which will preserve approximately $0.4 million of cash.

Non-GAAP Measure

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including a presentation of constant dollar measures. We disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations. The constant currency figures are financial measures used by management to provide investors an additional perspective on trends. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an exclusive alternative to accompanying GAAP financial measures. Please see the accompanying table entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Sales, Gross Profit and Income from Operations in Constant Dollars)

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. We refer to these adjusted financial measures as constant dollar items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, we calculate current year results and prior year results at a constant exchange rate, which is the prior year’s rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

The table below reconciles second quarter 2023 and year-to-date constant dollar net sales, gross profit and income from operations to our GAAP net sales, gross profit and income from operations.
